Daniel de Martini Rivera Ferreira

PhD student in the field of quantum materials physics, with emphasis on symmetry breaking in strongly correlated systems. Aims to understand how interactions among the different microscopic degrees of freedom of complex systems, and their relationship with their symmetries, lead to electronic and magnetic properties. The research involves the use of advanced computational methods, such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) and its extensions for strong correlations. A key focus is to always integrate theory and experimental results, exploring new approaches to symmetry breaking and their consequences for understanding exotic properties in quantum materials.
